Projects and environments to manage your development process

February 01, 2017 18:45

Projects allow you to manage multiple different software projects under one LaunchDarkly account. For example, you can create one project called Mobile App and another project called Web App. Each project will have its own unique set of environments and feature flags. By default, all team members in your LaunchDarkly account will have access to every project within that account.

Environments allow you to manage your feature flags throughout your entire development lifecycle — from local development to QA, staging, and production.

When you first sign up, you're provided with two environments within a project. By default, they're named Test and Production. Each environment has its own private SDK key, which is used to connect a LaunchDarkly SDK to a specific environment.

Each feature flag that you create has its own unique set of targeting rules for each environment. This means that you can change your flag rollout rules in a development or staging environment for QA testing before rolling out to production.
